All the way from Vienna,
Austria, Kristina Arjakova shares her current experience of being an exchange
student at FHWien der WKW University of Applied Sciences. Pursuing her BBA at
SolBridge, Kristina is our first student to visit our Austrian partner
university.

One day, I woke up and had a
thought that I want to visit Europe and see it at its best, and I did it. I
decided to go for an exchange semester to Vienna, Austria, in the heart of
Europe. This is the country where you can feel the best side of Europe, the
attractive one. When you arrive in Austria, you immediately feel how cultural
and organized this country is. People will always be happy to help you find
your way or choose what you need to buy. This is Austria, a country with
fascinating mountains, the cleanest water, and unique culture. Moreover, it has
another unique thing – Vienna.

Honestly speaking, I did not
know much about Vienna before, except Mozart and Opera House, but now it has
all changed. When you just walk on the streets in Vienna, you immediately feel
like you are part of all this art; it inspires you with every single building
or park it has. Besides, Vienna is considered one of the safest cities in
Europe and has the best transportation system, so you can live your young life
at its best and fullest. I have already traveled to neighboring countries with
friends I have met at the university. It is so comfortable and convenient to
get around Central Europe. Therefore, Vienna, with all its insights, made me a
better version of myself, having best friends from Europe, and falling in love
with this country once and forever.
